1953 Map of Delaware

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Green River carves a winding path through this mid-century landscape where Henderson, Daviess, McLean, and Webster counties converge. Small agricultural settlements like Niagara and Coraville anchor the upland regions, while the riverbanks are dotted with historic transit points such as Rangers Landing and Quinn Landing. This 1953 survey, based on aerial photographs from 1950, documents the area's rural social infrastructure through its country churches and family burial grounds, including Pleasant Valley Ch and the Gish Cem. The local economy is visibly shaped by the presence of scattered Oil Wells, indicating the extraction activities that characterized this portion of the Kentucky coal field region during the era. Topographic details illustrate the complex drainage network of Cash Creek and Sputzman Creek, providing a clear look at the terrain before modern land-use changes.
